More unwelcome guests from Mexico: Swine Flu

Millions of illegal immigrants from Mexico, a war between drug cartels spilling into the US and now a lethal flu virus with the potential of reaching a pandemic.

Good thing Napolitano is so concerned with the US-Canada border and not the border that is causing a lot of problems. Market Watch

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The growing number of swine flu cases in Mexico and the U.S. has international health officials concerned that the aggressive virus could infect people worldwide.[...]

Speaking to reporters by telephone Saturday, Schuchat said the CDC's efforts are aimed at reducing the spread of the previously unseen flu, which has killed at least 68 people in Mexico in the past month. More than 1,000 others in the Mexico City area have developed flu-like symptoms, according to media reports.

Eight people in the U.S. -- six in California and two in Texas -- were confirmed to have come down with a similar strain of the flu found in Mexico, according to the CDC. All eight have recovered, the CDC said, with only one patient needing hospitalization.

But given that the new virus has appeared in diverse populations and in many communities, containing it is no longer feasible, Schuchat said.

Thats bs, If the CDC is serious about preventing a potential pandemic than they could implement some drastic measures to contain the spread of the virus.
